Mortenson was pretty much the only reason I like it. Although, it was a really long time ago that I saw it. Demi Moore just totally does not do it for me. If they'd gotten Geena Davis ... now her I'd see kicking ass & taking names.<br /><br />I liked this (Indian Runner) in part for the simplicity of the story presented in - I think your choice of words apt - an understated way.Gopher MPHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164727896040737732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283797880847544275.post-11477215670358372882009-05-06T10:53:00.000-05:002009-05-06T10:53:00.000-05:00I've seen this movie a couple of times and marvele...I've seen this movie a couple of times and marveled each time at Penn's direction, Morse's understated acting and Mortensen's haunting work here. It was a low budget feature that got a lot of attention at the time because it was Sandy Dennis' last movie before her death.<br /><br />I thought "American Yakuza" was kind of standard and predictable. Mortensen has alluded to doing it only for the money. "G.I. Jane" I loved and bought. I especially love when Demi Moore beats up Mortensen -- they made it look so real!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
